• How to Serve: Serve between 8-10°C.
• Storage Advice:Store horizontally in a cool (10-15°C), dark place, and away from vibrations.
• Tasting Notes:Appearance - Delicate yellow in colour, there are golden glints and a crystalline brilliance. Aroma - Lush pear, apple and blossom aromas combine with notes of hazelnut and almond. Taste - R de Ruinart is rounded, full bodied and balanced, with flavours of greengages and nectarines. The finish is long and fresh as the chardonnay shines through.
• Pairings: Starter - R de Ruinart's light fruit flavours and crisp edge cry out for buttery or citrussy dishes. For a starter, serve with seared scallops, tossed in oil and lemon. Main - The champagne's crystal-clear minerality cuts through the butteriness of classic sole meunière. Dessert - Pair with creamy cow's-milk cheeses that have a short ripening time, such as Chaource or Langres.
